Our philosophy


We strongly believe in a sustainable water future for our cities. Such cities need supportive and informed residents at their core — people who know where their drinking water comes from, where it ends up and how it is protected, and who understand the importance of responsible water usage all round.


Teaching objectives


We have created a series of lessons and activities around water resource management. By the end of the case study, students will be able to:


Lesson structure


Each lesson can be a standalone feature but together the lessons form a coherent unit. Lessons consist of teacher and student presentations, homework problems and a teacher's pack.


Teacher's pack


You can download a teacher's pack to help you run these lessons in your classroom.
